We received the sad news that Fr. Noel Mansfield MSC, passed away today at 3.30 pm at Prince of Wales (PoW) Hospital, Randwick, NSW.
Noel had been at St Joseph's Aged Care, Kensington, NSW, in recent years as his health declined and he needed more assistance. He was admitted to PoW last week.

Over the years, Noel was appointed to a number of our colleges, as a missionary in Papua New Guinea, as part of the Retreat team, and in parish ministry.
